Tried the fighter board but figured I would get more eyeballs here instead.
I am about to start up a campaign today that goes to level 13 and could use some last minute build tips.
I decided to spin up a multiclass that I thought was interesting and always wanted to try. An Echo Knight 6 / Chronurgy Wizard 7 MC.
The idea is that the PC has an Acolyte background and is a disciple of Chronos, the Father of Time. He has studied in battle techniques and magic that manipulate time and timelines, such that he can speed up or slow down time, momentarily stop or reverse time, and even pull shadows of himself from other timelines to aid him in battle.
I thought the build could have immense utility.
I could utilize Sentinel and Manifest Echo to lock down enemies
With Action Surge & Unleashed Incarnation, I could empty the tank and do some Nova Damage (up to 7 attacks at level 5)
My Nova damage could be enhanced further with Wizard (Shadow Blade or Spirit Shroud)
I could increase my crit defense or spell save defense with Chronurgy's Chronal Shift
I could essentially lock down an enemy with Momentary Statis (giving me advantage/auto crit on my next attack).
Downside is that this build is a bit tricky because its a MAD (STR/INT/CON), but I think could be effective. Have some questions for this group, since I have never played either an Echo Knight or a Chronurgy Wizard, so am generally looking to see if this is a viable option. Here is the proposed build.
Cantrips: Booming Blade, Light, Sword Burst, Ray of Frost (campaign is Avernus so no fire)
Level 1: Absorb Elements, Comprehend Languages, Detect Magic, Find Familiar, Shield, Feather Fall, Magic Missle, Protection from Good and Evil
Level 2: Hold Person, Mirror Image, Misty Step (this may be redundant with Echo), Shadow Blade
Level 3: Counterspell, Haste, Lightning Bolt, Fly
Level 4: Dimension Door, Greater Invisibility
My questions:
Is this a viable build or am I going to be underpowered by end game?
Should I be thinking STR build or DEX build (for the initiative and pick up Mage Armor, Rapier instead)?
GWM or stick with Sword & Board & Sentinel?
How is the spell selection. Anything I should change? My rationale is that I go for mostly buffs since my INT is not super high (14 or 16 for majority of campaign)
How should I be thinking about approaching the playstyle?
I think this is a cool idea but thought I would go to the experts! Thanks!
